New Hampshire Youth E-Cigarette Use Significantly Down, Record-Low Combustible Use

The 2023 New Hampshire Youth Risk Behavior Survey shows a decline in combustible cigarette use among high school students, with current usage at a record low. E-cigarette use has slightly increased since 2021 but remains significantly lower than in 2019. While some concerns exist, e-cigarettes have been beneficial in helping adults quit smoking. Policy makers should recognize the positive trends to further reduce adult smoking and monitor youth tobacco and vapor product use. Lindsey Stroud, affiliated with various organizations, supports acknowledging the survey results in ongoing efforts.
